Spring Garden Foundations is a hands-on, educational garden planning workshop designed to help you start the growing season with clarity and confidence — before planting begins.
This collaborative workshop is offered by Wendland Family Farm and hosted inside the working greenhouse at 10:4 Farm, followed by a farm-fresh, locally sourced meal and open Q&A.
This workshop is intentionally scheduled at the beginning of spring, so you can plan thoughtfully rather than react as the season unfolds.
Whether you are brand new to gardening or ready to deepen your skills, this experience is designed to meet you where you are.
